| - A fantastic experience from service to food.
Situated in a historic old Charlottean mini-mansion, you'll find Stagioni. This place doesn't disappoint at all. After several visits here, it is absolutely one of the best spots in Charlotte that you don't ever hear anyone talk about.
Stagioni is a really nice hybrid of fine and semi-casual dining. They have found this balance that says "we are a nice restaurant, but most importantly we care about the food we serve". This is the first restaurant that has offered a fine dining experience, but also doubled as my casual go-to spot for delicious pizza and beer. The inside offers a quaint, intimate, and darker setting that will absolutely be the highlight of your evening out.
The appetizers are delicious as are the main pasta dishes. You can't go wrong with anything seafood-based here. Even the table bread and rosemary olive oil are phenomenal. The drink selection is interesting without being too fussy. They offer some craft cocktails, good wine, and good draft beers.
Now, it's time to talk about the pizza. This is the best pizza in Charlotte. Whether you're a deep dish, NY style, or Neapolitan style fan, you will quickly fall in love with Stagioni's pizza. It's thin, with the right amount of soft and crunchy. The toppings, the cheese, the sauce...it's incredible. It's also the first time I have ever been given scissors to cut a pizza, which is actually quite efficient.
You owe it to yourself to try this place. Restaurants like these are holding up the food and restaurant reputation for Charlotte. Without a doubt, an unwavering 5/5.
